| I think...that he broke up with a girl that he still loved, and she still loved him. It left her so torn up, that she comitted suicide, and he know's its his fault, and it bothers him...i think | |

| On the Wallflowers site Jakob clearly states that the song was not about a girl who died. | |

| I love this song...I go back and think of the time Bruce Springsteen performed it w/the band on the MTV VMAs a few years ago. | |
